I’m a Software Engineer. I graduated with an M.S.c. in Computer Science (Distinction). My research involved building WebSockets benchmark and visualization tools with Node.js and Python. I learn in the open by writing about my programming experiences with an aim to help beginners. My posts have over 100k reads and have been featured in DEV’s “Top 7”. I have a weekly newsletter.
